Match each of the following terms with the correct meaning.
________ Ventral
a. Lying on the back, face upwards
b. Farther from the point of attachment
c. The front of the body or body part
d. Toward the tail end of the spine
Introduction:
The directional terms are used in anatomy, which describes the positions of structures relative to other structures or locations in the body.
Explanation of Solution
Justification for correct answer:
Option (c) is given as the front of the body or body part is referred as ventral. In biological anatomy, ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. For example, the eyes are ventral to the brain. Hence, (c) is the correct option.
Justification for incorrect answers:
Option (a) is given as lying on the back, face upward is referred as ventral. Supine position signifies lying on the back with face upward while ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. Hence, (a) is an incorrect option.
Option (b) is given as farther from the point of attachment is referred as ventral. Distal position signifies farther from the point of attachment while ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. Hence, (b) is an incorrect option.
Option (d) is given as toward the tail end of the spine is referred as ventral. Caudal position signifies toward the tail end of the spine while ventral signifies body part closer to the front side of the body. Hence, (d) is an incorrect option.

In your sentence you need to include the following information: Left vs right side of the body Regional terms (e.g., brachial, femoral, pectoral, antebrachial, axillary, among many others…see your PPTX for a list) Orientation terms (e.g., anterior, poster, lateral, medial, proximal, distal, superior, inferior). Bone, suture, muscle landmarks that will help you pinpoint the location. DISTANCES (you can use inches or cm) as needed to increase your specificity. REMINDERS: on the arms and legs you are to use proximal and distal. I won’t accept superior and inferior with the arms and legs.
